resident Ainslie stated that the meet
ing was called to take into considera-
tion the propriety Of sending delegates
TO the convention which assemblies ut
de Funiak Springs, Fla, February Sth,
to consider measures looking to better
sca-coast dafences, and particularly to
consider "the question Of the site for
an interior manufacturing mill.
Mr.. II. A. Dunlop, Colonel +. G. Ruf-
fin, and c. z. T.. Burgwyn, Esq, who
had made some inquiries into the sub
ject, expressed the opinion that it would
be wen to have Richmond represented
at the convention.
In view Of the experiences Of the late
war Richmond is regarded by military
men as one of the safest natural strong
holds in the world. Excepting breast
works, IT needs no defences to be CON
structed; and here, where there is
water-power, machine-shops, &c, is the
place, the Chamber thinks, for & ma
tional arms-manufacturing establish
ment.
Mr.. Burgwyn moved that commit
tee of three be appointed by the Chair
to represent this Chamber at the Con
vcntion. Agreed to.
The following were appointed: Colo
mel +, G.. Rullin, Mr.. Burgwyn, and
Colonel 10. Lane Stern.
Subsequently the committee was en-
larged to five members, and as the adj
ditional two the Hon. George j.. Chris
tian and President George A. Ainslie

DECISION IN THE KIDD CASE POST.
PoNED UNTIL TODAY.
Totty's Case Continued Until Eext Wed
nesdsy and the One Against the
City Until Next Term, &C.

Yesterday morning was the time set
by Judge Ingram, of the Manchester
Hastings Court, for him to render his
decisionNon the motion for new trial
and arrest of Judgment in the case OF
Lewis p. Kidd, who was found guilty OF
feloniously shooting Thomas Calligan
with intent to kill, and whose punish
ment the jury fixed at one years I'M
prisonment in the penitentiary. After
the court was opened the Judge stated
that he would overrule the
motion for arrest of Judgment and the
discharge of the prisoner, which was
made on the ground that Kidd had
never been indicted, it beingalleged that
the grand jury which found the indict-
ment was not properly ordered.
He (the judge was. satisfied that
there was no error, either in the indict-
ment or in the order issued by Judge
French for the special gmndju which
found it TO be summoned.
On the point raised with reference
to errors in the record, a juror of Ches-
tcrfield being summoned on UcRirr
focids of twenty from Richmond, and
the Court not asking the gentlemen
from Richmond il they were citizens Of
Richmond, the Court withheld its deci-
sion until to-day, desiring further time
to examine the record.
TOTTY's CASE CONTINUED.
The case Of Robert L. Totty, VINO
WIS sent on to The grand jury for offer
ing to sell goods without license, was
called after few civil cases had been
disposed Of 1t will be remembered
that Totty offered coupons in payment
of his license, and they being refused
he stood on the tender. MIR. Irving
Darlington appeared as counsel for Tot
ty and asked that the case be con
timed until next week, or, If agreeable,
until the next term of the court. Ap-
plication had been made to Judge
Bond and writ of hdbcds corpus had
been issued directing that Totty he
taken before said Judge at Alexandra
on Tuesday next. This writ had not
been served as yet, but would be be-
tween then and the day on which it was
made returnable.
TIE case was continued until next
Wednesday.

The object of the Convention was to
get help from the National Treasury for
ships flying the American flag. The
NcPlcy bill lis what they wanted to push.
Major Wellford's own views were that
while om people were in favor Of re
storing the prestige of the Amcri-
can particularly if the ships
were built here-they were more car
nestly in favor Of the abolition of the
internal revenue. He was able also to
put in some good words for the James
